Locked Up on the Charge of Petit Lar
ceny.

Bill Phillips says that although he
didn't get elected constable he can at least
furnish q little business for that class of
officials, and in pursuance of that idea he
made a complaint Yesterday against a
young man named Olaf Olesen, charging
him with petit larceny in the theft of a chain
valued at $40. Armed with a warrant
Constable Goddard rounded up the young
man and took HIM into custody. He was
arraigned before Judge Lee and the hear
ing in his case postponed from yesterday
afternoon until . p. III. to-day. In the
meantime, Olesen not being able to give
bail, was locked up until hat time. The
chain it seems was taken from the Phil
lips ranch, four or FIVE miles northwest
Of the city, and if the defendant had any
thing to do with the it there we're proba-
bly, Others who had a hand in the affair.
The defendant disclaims having stolen the
chain, but says that it was thrown into
Crow creek.

Hight OF Way Granted Up to the
Warren Emporium.
Cheyenne & Burlington l%ncorpor-
ated--s240, 900 to be Expended.

Yesterday and last night was a boom"
time for Cheyenne, and 1t may be said
without attempting to particularize that
probably $l25 900 worth of real estate
changed hands In Cheyenne last night
between 7 O'Clock and midnight.
Shortly before midnight a meeting of
the city council was held. Mayor Riner in
the chair, and with every member of the
council present. Mr.. Draper stated that
a gentleman representing the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad mpa
was present and had a proposition to make
to the council.
The gentleman-G. w. Holdredge,
general manager of the Chicago, Burling-
ton q Qulncy-arose and said that the
statement was In writing and asked that it
be read.
!he statement was read. and proved to
be a proposition to organize a local rail-
road company, the Cheyenne & Burling-
ton (the articles of incorporation were
filed last evening", that the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy would extend its line to
Cheyenne by the LIST of June, 1888, at the
outside; that it would expend $24O, 900 in
Cheyenne for shops, etc, prior to that
time; that it would at once deposit slO,-
600 in the Stock Growers National bank
to pay damages for right of way, ETC.. on
condition that the city would sell to the
company 200 acres OF land north of the
boulevard for $500, and in addition there
to grant to the company the right of way
from Morris street along the alley running
parallel with Sixteenth street to Hill street
(Which would bring them alongside of the

ley a distance Of thirty four feet, the city
however not to give a deed to the 200
acres of land until the $24O, 900 have been
expended and the trains of the Cheyenne

into Cheyenne.
The communication was placed on file,
after which Mr.. Draper introduced an
ordinance providing for the acceptance of
the proposition and also for the appoint
ment of five commissioners to assess all
damages, etc.
Under a suspension of the rules the
ordinance was passed by the unanimous
vote ofthe council.
BE- After transacting some further business
the council at about midnight adjourned.
1t will be seer that while the land pur-
chased lies north of the boulevard, the
right of way is along and parallel with
Fifteenth Street and runs up to the
Warren emporium Jour readers must con-
lecture what this means), but it was ex-
planned by Mr.. Potter, who was present
In behalf of the Chicago. Burlington j.
Quincy, that the Burlington & Missouri
will find a way from the south side of the
city to the land which it now purchased
north of the boulevard.
